On October 19, 2010, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted County Ordinance No. 2010-0045, which enhances Los Angeles County's current public health requirements for the inspection grading and posting of letter grades to include mobile food facilities. B. The County's development of a grading program for mobile food facilities, as with restaurants and food markets, is intended to minimize the risk of foodborne illness by identifying high risk violations and bringing these conditions to the attention of the facility owners and operators and the public. The use of letter grades or numerical percentage scores will provide the public with an easily recognizable method of making informed choices based on the food safety practices found on the mobile facility at the time of inspection. Additionally, the grading program will benefit the public by providing a means to easily differentiate between illegal and legal food vendors. C. County Ordinance No. 2010-0045 became effective on November 18, 2010. The County has asked the City to adopt an implementing ordinance in Rancho Palos Verdes. D. The City desires to ensure County enforcement of the grading program for mobile food facilities within the City through the adoption of a conforming City ordinance. Section 2.
